Some will get to repeat the test until they get it right they can't/wont move on to grander realms of existence unknown to most of us here. imho

    IOW; there will be an accounting of all things we have caused or manifested in this time warp known as relative consciousness or the waking state which is really nothing more than a blink of the eye of Brahman as in sleep, temporarily forgeting/limiting/constraining/intending, as it were its true nature, and in said blink of the eye, this existence is 'dreamt up' as a notion/intention/idea in the minds eye.

    That, is our true essence. imho We are That infinite consciousness. Temporarily dreaming all this into exisence, which truthfully is as insubstantial in the infinite consciousness as a dream you may have had last night. When we awaken, the dream is nothing but a disolution and so the universes become world-appearance, rise and fall, are created and disolve, and the truth is what it is, infinite consciousness, and that's really all there is.

    The ignorant/dense/asleep will get the opportunity to take the test again until they finally get it right, others, who got it finally, will move on to perhaps the more glorious realms of time and or being, as a purer consciousness devoid of such/much demarcation/demerit. Thus have I heard
    Great post.

    Hi five brother Drifter.....Love ya loads.

    The Four states of mind:
    1. The Waking state [gross]
    2. the Dream state [subtle]
    3. The Deep or dreamless state[a.k.a. void/abyss]
    4. Infinite consciousness [causal]

    Between first and second state is screen of imagination/ideation.
    Between second and fourth state is intuition [current/channel of the subtle/causal]which manifest through ideation/intention/volition; energy flows where attention goes. of course they are all inner inter-connected all the relative state of infinite consciousness expressing as these various 'notions'.
    They have no more reality than a dream you might have, and then awaken from.
    That's the price we pay. [ignorance is bliss] iow It all just happens. That's the nature of the infinite consciousness. [Google 56 Aphorisms on "consciousness without an object": ~Franklin Merrell Wolff or "Cosmic Consciousness"; ~Richard Maurice Bucke [both more modern, western mystics as well as Doctors] read; not dummies

    Cut away all such notions, they are the sole product of Maya [delusion/ignorance].

    The Razor's Edge, in the hands of an investigator, is naught but intelligent discernment.

    A sword in the hands of a coward is useless..

    Circumstances change truth.
    But 'wisdom' changes circumstances, brother

    Surrender and acceptance will grace you with benevolence and good fortune my friend. e.g. "Consciousness without an object.", is infinite consciousness.

    When you change the way you look at things,
    The things you look at change.

    I believe, any good answer is not quick to judge, but long to understand. Your answer was "superficial," my question wasn't so simple as it appeared. And you my friend, have used your razor to bleed me. I have not cut you, nor do I wish to.

    A simply misunderstood question, will be judged hastily. The razor and or the sword are truth as I understand them to be. So the question I would ask is this, in our situation, who cut whom, and with who's truth?

    We are powerless, in our egoistic state of consciousness, to find solutions to problems because; "Problems cannot be solved by the same consciousness that cretaed them." ~Albert Einstein

    When we decide to stop having so much fun being bad to be good, things will begin to look different to us. We will tap into a resevoir of power, NOW, seeing things differently, we could not before because the resevoir of power is, another higher more altruistic virtuistic and moral consciousness.
    "The true value of a human-being can be directly
    measured to the degree in which he has attained liberation from his self." ~Albert Einstein

    Re: The Razor's Edge

    Om is just a sound. However a more detailed translation is:

    "Jai" means "O Hail" or "Victory to"
    "Guru" means "Teacher"
    "Deva" means "God/Lord/Demi-God"
    "om" some say is the source of all existence that comes from vibration

    There is an Indian man at my local store, he calls me pa-kow. I have no idea what it means.

    My sincere apologies Meem, I didn't mean for it to be so personal, I merely thought I was pointing out the obvious, sorry.

    God as it is known in some circles, isn't some anthropomorhic projection of a long-haired dude sitting on something called a throne, in a place called heaven, these sre literal projections, notions as such, and confuse people.

    I simply meant it was off the cuff, if so it might be said, I guess I should sharpen my sense of humor somewhat, maybe then I would be perceived as less provocative or confrontational. sorry bro, my bad.

    Can you restate your reply, in other words my friend, please?

    My spirit humbly thanks you, Namaste`

    It (Conscience~our divine aspect within~really wants the best for us in all these realms of existence. imho
    Listen in the gap between thoughts... It _Conscience~that still small voice Jesus listened to while a japa japa, (walking meditation)~will make itself known to you, give peace, love a chance?

    Be one with That through silence, one cannot talk and listen at the same time, its like serving two masters, literally, know what I mean? thus have I heard
